PETS－2每日对话练习346

　　Ian: Good, this is sounding more and more like a long-term plan.
　　Candy: But I might change my mind.
　　Ian: That's OK. You just want to present a coherent, long-term picture of your goals. Admissions committees like that.
　　Candy: Is that all that they care about?
　　Ian: They'd also like to see how you're going to help the world. Maybe you want to encourage sustainable coffee growing.
　　Candy: You'll write that for me, right?
　　Ian: This is your application, not mine. Don't forget the letters of recommendation next time!
